[11:41] <wrst> morning tenc
[12:57] <twayneprice> wrst: http://gigaom.com/2013/10/08/with-reported-sms-addition-hangouts-looks-to-be-googles-answer-to-imessage/
[12:59] <wrst> twayneprice: that solves your issue?
[12:59] <wrst> and imessage is very cool  that would be big to have an answer to that for android
[13:06] <twayneprice> not sure. I'm hoping that if they add it for hangouts, they will add it to google voice.  Or maybe they will replace google voice with hangouts.  Google can be hard to figure out.  :)
[13:08] <wrst> that is for sure
[13:08] <wrst> I'm waiting on the Next Nexus since it looks to be a CDMA capable phone
[13:10] <twayneprice> i think my son is getting the Moto X and trying out Republic Wireless.
[13:11] <wrst> Republic Wireless is an interesting concept too
[13:11] <wrst> I really thought about them
[13:12] <wrst> my big thing about ting is that it roams on other CDMA networks and I haven't found another prepaid that does that
[13:13] <wrst> and the motox looks like a great phone
[13:15] <twayneprice> I think Republic roams on Verizon.
[13:16] <twayneprice> At least, that is what I read.
[13:17] <wrst> ahh that is good I never made it that far
[13:17] <wrst> so they are right there then
[13:18] <wrst> great thing is when you get off contract, you can with minimal irritation move somewhere else
[13:21] <twayneprice> Yup.  And I can't believe that they have the Moto X for $300. It is $550 everywhere else.
[13:22] <wrst> that's pretty cheap
[13:22] <wrst> after buying the older galaxy nexus i really like the nexus devices and would like to stay there
[13:25] <twayneprice> A guy at church has a Moto X and really likes it.  I've heard good things about the Nexus also.
[13:26] <wrst> I really prefer stock android, or actually really prefer cyanogenmod so it makes it really easy on the nexus devices
[13:26] <wrst> and they are pretty hard to brick
[13:40] <twayneprice> I've never used Android.
[13:41] <twayneprice> Other than just playing with someone elses phone/tablet, that is.
[13:44] <wrst> I'm pretty well in the android ecosystem
[13:44] <wrst> you can do the same things more or less on either
[13:44] <wrst> I do feel less locked in with android
[13:44] <wrst> I'm reminded of that everytime I have to deal with iTunes for my wife
[13:48] <twayneprice> I've been thinking of getting a cheap tablet.  What is the minimum Android version that you would recommend?
[13:48] <wrst> 4.1
[13:49] <wrst> 4.0 aka Icecream Sandwich was a big improvement but all of the jelly beans perform much better
[13:49] <wrst> depending on your definition of cheap a used nexus 7 wouldn't be a bad way to go
[13:50] <wrst> and you should get latest and greatest android and if you don't you can easily put cyanogenmod on them and have it
[13:52] <twayneprice> That is what I was thinking.  Or maybe a Samsung Galaxy Tab.  Can you put the latest android on tablets that come with something older?
[13:53] <wrst> all dependes that is were the android fragmentation really shows
[13:54] <wrst> if the vendor keeps supporting it you can, but chances are if it isn't a nexus device or something like a galaxy tab that is support by cyanogenmod I wouldn't want to expect it
[13:55] <twayneprice> I think I'll stick to one of those.  I think Walmart in Algood has this for $85:

[13:56] <wrst> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/P3110_Info
[13:56] <wrst> hmm 85 bucks?
[13:57] <wrst> that woudl be a good one for our 2 year old
[13:58] <wrst> twayneprice: I'm just not a fan of the samsung touchwiz interface, but that's just preference
[13:58] <twayneprice> Race you to the store?  :)
[13:58] <wrst> ha ha go ahead you need it :)
[14:00] <wrst> I have been somewhat looking for something like that or maybe even a phone, actually have thought about just keeping my SII for bri to play with
[14:00] <twayneprice> I like the 7" size.
[14:01] <wrst> yes the normal ipad size is a little large for my taste
[14:01] <wrst> and I have a cheap 10" android tablet and I'm not a fan of it either
[14:02] <twayneprice> Yea.  I have an iPad 1 that I rarely use.
[14:02] <wrst> the wife's is an ipad2
[14:05] <twayneprice> I use mine for a while and then don't touch it for a while.
[14:05] <tenc> Good morning gentlemen; wrst, twayneprice, Unit193.
[14:05] <wrst> howdy tenc
[14:05] <wrst> twayneprice: did the ipad 1 get ios7?
[14:09] <twayneprice> wrst: Not sure if it can.  I didn't try to upgrade yet.
[14:09] <twayneprice> morning tenc
[14:11] <wrst> didn't know either the ipad2 runs it nicely
[14:11] <wrst> that is something that apple does supremely better than android
[14:11] <wrst> pushing out updates
[14:17] <twayneprice> It doesn't appear that the ipad1 is upgradable.
[14:23] <wrst> I don't see anything hugely different short of appearances
[14:35] <twayneprice> Yea.  My iPhone 4 seems a little slower after upgrading.
[17:11] <twayneprice> wrst: http://gigaom.com/2013/10/08/report-nexus-5-to-start-at-299-battery-size-will-increase-with-storage/
[17:13] <wrst> 399 is more than a fair price for the hardware for the 32GB version, only tinky thing is the lack of sd card slot or I'm assuming it will be lacking
[17:44] <wrst> twayneprice: might take a look at glyde.com for tablets
[18:09] <twayneprice> wrst: There are some pretty good deals there.
[18:10] <wrst> yes I just put my SIII on there I have it on LSN but I can get more or less the same out of it on there without the aggervation it seems
[18:14] <twayneprice> wrst: did you try http://www.gazelle.com/ ?
[18:15] <wrst> according to glyde they give you more money :)
[18:15] <wrst> but no didn't so much
[18:16] <wrst> actually ting suggest glyde so just went there really
[18:26] <wrst> twayneprice: I suppose if I sell my phone I will just buy a nexus 7 while I have funds tied up on the site... you think that might be their game? :)
[18:28] <twayneprice> Ah.  All the sales turns into trades.  :)
[18:32] <wrst> yes
[18:32] <wrst> and im volunteering for their evil plan
